From April 6th to the 7th, The Albino Foundation was present at NATCON-UNESCO’s 2-day Stakeholders’ meeting for “Drafting of the Country Initiative” at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Abuja. The various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in attendance deliberated Nigeria’s direction and priorities for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) agenda.
The Global Action Plan (GAP) for 2030 was adopted by UNESCO and acknowledged by the UN General Assembly; it expects adoption by member states. GAP proposes concrete ways to step up on five priority action areas: Policy, Education Environments, Building Capacities of Educators, Youth Mobilization, and Local Level Action.
ESD is widely recognised as an integral element of Agenda 2030, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 4(SDG 4) – Quality Education. The meeting concluded with the CSOs and other stakeholders agreeing that building the capacities of educators and trainers while empowering and mobilising youth were the two most critical priority action areas for advancing the ESD agenda in Nigeria.
